International Place Winterfest

A multi day grand opening introduced International Place and the new Bricco restaurant, a joint project of Harristown Development Corporation/ Hilton Hotel and Towers and HACC’s Olweine Culinary Institute.

Following a grand opening on Friday, Sunday saw more than 1,500 people participate in a Winter Festival featuring a miniature Olympic Village, decorated with flags and snowmen representing different nationalities.

Presenting partners included Downtown Improvement District, WGAL-TV8, Ski Roundtop, and the HERSHEY Bears. More than a dozen other participating organizations helped to create the Festival.
